Opposite the Sé and the south side of the big square Dom Afonso III. engaging, extends the Bishop's Palace, which is still the seat of the bishop today.It is connected on the left hand side by a brick arch with the episcopal seminary, a building parallel to the old city wall. As far as the "Largo da Sé" is concerned, both buildings are beautifully and photogenetically delimited by two rows of orange trees.In front of the palace there is a monument to the bishop Francisco Gomes do Avelar, who after 1755 worked hard to rebuild the cathedral and the palace.
